"Eight years ago, Los Angeles-based writer Mike Davis proclaimed that Latina/os were "turning the lights back on" in cities and towns across the U.S., in Magical Urbanism: Latinos Reinvent the U.S. City, just one of the many publications concerning the arrival of Latina/os as the nation's new largest minority. This wave of media also noted the redistribution of Latina/os into areas perceived as having little ethnic or racial diversity, such as Midwestern towns with new meatpackers or light manufacturing.
